Section 13:69C-7.7 - Temporary amendments for pit and slot zone reconfigurations or reconstitutions

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section or in 13:69C-7.4(f), each casino licensee shall configure the pits and slot zones in its casino or casino simulcasting facility, as to types, number and location of games, strictly in accordance with the floor plans approved by the Division at the time the operation certificate originally was issued or as amended pursuant to 13:69C-7.6.

(b) Each casino licensee may temporarily reconfigure one or more pits or slot zones by filing a notice with the Division at the Division's Regulatory Enforcement Bureau office in the establishment, to temporarily reconfigure for each pit or slot zone specified in the notice, which shall be filed at least three business days prior to implementing such alternate configuration. In addition, pursuant to the above notice procedure, each casino licensee may also temporarily reconstitute one or more pits as a slot zone(s) or one or more slot zones or a portion thereof as a pit. Within that three-day period, the Division shall notify the casino licensees whether the reconfiguration or reconstitution is rejected.

(c) In accordance with the specific terms of the notice, the casino licensee shall implement the reconfiguration or reconstitution for a period of no more than 180 consecutive days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Division may approve the implementation of a reconfiguration of a pit in conjunction with the test of a new table game or table game wager pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:69F-8.4 for a period up to 270 days from the day such test commences. Each such reconfigured pit shall not:

1. Exceed the dimensions approved for the pit that existed immediately prior to the reconfiguration; nor

2. Include any change requiring the approval of any Federal, State or local government building code official without having first obtained that approval and the approval of the Division in accordance with 13:69C-7.6.

(d) Each casino licensee shall obtain approval for any changes, other than those permitted by this section, to the configuration of the pits or slot zones in its casino and casino simulcasting facility, if any, in accordance with 13:69C-7.6.

(e) Each pit operating under an approved configuration shall have an electrical system, approved by the Division, which enables a pit clerk or a pit supervisor to transmit a signal that is audibly and visually reproduced in each of the following locations whenever there is an emergency in the pit:

1. The monitoring rooms required by 13:69D-1.10; and

2. The casino security department.
